BEFORE FIRST USE
• When you use your appliance for the first time, pour fresh water
into the water tank (without coffee) and switch on the appliance.
This operation of rinsing you appliance must be done before first
use.
• Once all the water has passed through, switch off the appliance
and repeat this operation twice. Let the appliance cool down for
at least 5 minutes before repeating the operation.
PREPARATION OF COFFEE
• Open the lid of the water tank and pour the desired volume of
water in it. The water level can be read off the water level
indicator. Never exceed the maximum level indicated.
• Insert filter paper or permanent filter (depending on the model) in
the filter holder and add the desired quantity of ground coffee.
• Never forget to close the water tank lid before switching on the
coffee maker.
• In order to shut the lid of the thermos flask, make sure the line on
the lid ends up in front of the lip before you start screwing.
• Put the thermos flask with closed lid on the hot plate.
• Switch on the coffee maker. The pilot light will be illuminated,
indicating that your appliance is in use. The thermos flask allows
you to keep the coffee warm for quite some time.
• When you remove the jug from the appliance, a non-drip valve
will automatically operate to stop any drops of coffee falling onto
the hotplate. When you put the jug back into place, the non-drip
valve opens automatically and allows remaining coffee to filter
through into the jug.
• Practical hints: When the water tank is empty, wait a few more
minutes, as some water might still drip out of the filter before
removing the jug.
